Zainab
Westlab Ambassador

Hear Zainab’s thoughts on why raising awareness of skin conditions is vital to protect future generations.

In this series, we are spotlighting the real-life stories of our skin-warriors and their incredible journeys of living with Eczema, Topical Steroid Withdrawal (TSW) & Psoriasis.

Can you tell us about your skin journey and why you wanted to share it?

I've had Eczema since I was about six months old and I'm almost seven years into TSW. I decided to share my skin story with others in the hope that I could help anyone out there feel less alone. Especially when I was younger, I felt like the only person with Eczema, which is probably not true because I think that everyone was just hiding it! I hope by sharing my skin journey, others out there will be able to find some comfort that they are not alone and that if you do have a visible skin condition like Eczema or TSW (Topical Steroid Withdrawal) you should not feel ashamed or embarrassed.

What has been the hardest part of your skin journey?

Living with a long-term skin condition can be overwhelming at times. I don't think I've ever had a full night's sleep in my life because I'm always up scratching which leads to you just feeling constantly physically and mentally drained. Every day is a struggle, waking up to a constant worry about how your skin is going to be and how it is going to appear to others and whether today is going to be a good day or a bad day because of your skin – it is mentally and emotionally exhausting.

When did you first discover Westlab?

I discovered Westlab was I was trying to find ways of softening my rough skin. I realised that my skin was happiest when I was on holiday, swimming in the sea. I tried to recreate that at home, and the Dead Sea Salts became a great way to do that. Whenever I use the Dead Sea Salts in the bath, I always come out feeling so much more refreshed and my skin feels less irritated and softened.

What are your thoughts on the new Westlab Skin Repair Bath Salts?

What I love about the Skin Repair Bath Salts is firstly the smell. I think a lot of products for Eczema prone skin can smell quite clinical, but when I first used the Skin Repair Bath Salts it smelt so comforting, and it really soothed and softened my skin. We all know that the Dead Sea Salts work, but the Oats are just an added bonus.

Why is it important to be a part of the Westlab campaign in raising awareness for people living with visible skin conditions?

Campaigns like this have the ability to prevent my daughter and future generations from feeling as self-conscious as I have in the past about my skin. I feel that now I’m a mother, I’m even more passionate about increasing the visibility of skin conditions and normalising normal skin to ensure anyone out there struggling with their skin does not feel alone, embarrassed or ashamed.
